[seqfan] Re: Concatenate 5 digits = prime

[Eric Angelini]

Hello Alexander and SeqFans,

A few results here (mostly french language) :
http://www.cetteadressecomportecinquantesignes.com/ConsecDig.htm

Concatenation seems to work infinitely (no proof yet) for
2, 3 and 4 digits -- not more.
Best,
É.

Objet : [seqfan] Re: Concatenate 5 digits = prime

As it is easily observable from terms so far available (sorry for
stating the obvious)
 - not counting single occurence of 2, the digits involved are seems
to be only: 1, 3, 9 and ocasionally 7 ...

If this sequence is by any chance happens to be infinite (as it was
already asked by Eric), would this digit pattern remain and if so,
would it be interesting to evaluate the frequencies of each of those
digits more precisely ?

Regards,
ARP
